Elizabeth is a bright lady and will be well positioned to be America's first female President. The crys of "socialism" are such tripe and hyperbole. Elizabeth Warren isn't a socialist, she is a person that understands a national economy cannot function without a strong middle class. Unfortunately you have half the population of Republicans that believe "conservatives" care anything about their values when all that is happening is you are being duped for your vote and because you are insecure and immature, feel you have to hate other people and percieve yourself superior to them in some way in order to get out of bed in the morning. Nice way to live. I feel sorry for you. Must be exhausting spending all your time hating other people and worrying about your ego. The other half of the "conservtives" are the greedy type. The only policy they are interested in is what will legislate more money to themselves right now, forget that it might have a geometrically more expensive cost down the road and create spill over challenges that compound expenses. It's all about them and what they want right now.
Intelligent people, that is those that look at life from the long term perspective and creating a society that is built to last, recognize there needs to be a balance in society that focuses on increasing the education, standard of living and health of all our people in order to sustain prosperity and leadership over generations.
Enter Elizabeth Warren. The middle class is what fuels our economy and when the middle class does well, everyone, especially the 1%, does better. i.e., they take home more money overall and society is more stable, less crime, less divorce, less welfare, etc.. This model creates the best long term outcomes and a more productive society. Sorry Republicans but the core of your values only generates more of all that you claim to hate. i.e., your policies generate all the ills you whine about.
A 3% increase in the highest marginal tax rate isn't going to change our lives but not paying the 3% will. (Guess what, your BFF Reagan did it) Our infrastructure and education need reinvestment and innovation. This is what provides long term competitive advantage.
Republican policies exacerbate social problems and the "strip mining" approach to national natural and financial resources only results in a wasteland being left behind. Elizabeth Warren recognizes we need to take evasive action from the Republican driven American Apocolypse and reinvest in an America that can restore sustainable prosperity and innovation for generations to come.
But some of these words are probably to complex for the non 1% supporting the "conservatives" so let me dumb it down - you don't know enough about what you are talking about. You are being bamboozeld by those who claim to care about your welfare. Stop repeating the non-factual, ingnorance based hate speech you hear from "conservative" talk show hosts. You are the knuckle draggers pulling America down.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f171de469beddad6600003fTeaPartyNationWed, 18 Jan 2012 14:30:44 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f171de469beddad6600003f

Brown really hurt himself with conservatives by caving in to Harry reid in the lame duck session during Nov-Dec 2010. As an out of stater I donated to him when he beat Coaxley but will not contribute this year because he abandoned us when we needed him in the final hours of the previous congress. I have sent notes back to his campaign to this effect every time they ask me for another campaign contribution. I'm putting my money into senate races where we can elected real conservatives.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f16fee869beddcf31000013doug stewartWed, 18 Jan 2012 12:18:32 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f16fee869beddcf31000013
liz warren is smart, tough and lovable. she could be president one day. i have seen a few of her speeches on youtube. interesting stuff. too bad many people don't understand the necessity for government for a modern society to succeed. she makes a great argument that people should be able to understand, if they would just have an open mind.
the old saying is,"no man is an island".
trouble is, the military industrial complex will not stand for her vision. they want war and low taxes for the rich. only a revolution can bring the usa around to sensible policies.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f16f82969bedd4914000055hahahWed, 18 Jan 2012 11:49:45 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f16f82969bedd4914000055

Social Media, she made her wealth primarily by working as a professor at the top PRIVATE university in the world, Harvard. She has also made a substantial amount of money working for the government the last few years as an expert on financial matters as relates to the current economic collapse. Amazingly enough, becoming a Senator would actually be a pay cut for her.
What she really has to offer that will make her hard to beat is that she is an advocate for consumers and the middle class. Scott Brown on the other hand has taken massive amounts of campaign cash from the banking industry and has worked for their interests over the interests of the rest of us. It will be nice for a change to have someone in the Senate who is on our side and not the banks.
Oh and Scott Brown was a male model who posed nude in his youth. Which of the two, Brown or Warren, is more likely to be the coke head here?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f16ecf9eab8ea2c02000060JSBWed, 18 Jan 2012 11:02:01 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f16ecf9eab8ea2c02000060

Eddie Grimaldi, you don't make your case better by being ad hominem. There are two sides to every argument. Yours is not picture perfect. And, that free enterprise system that you call 'Americanism', as we see it today epitomized by the banking cabal of USA, as by the MIC-NSA sectors, all closed shop Oligarchies where the sun of entrepreneurial competition never shines, all crony capitalistic combines, the death of true democracy, are as cancerous as the purported evils of 'statist socialism' that you revile. No invisible hand of market there, no level playing field either.
She stands for values that FDR practiced and I wouldn't foul mouth an administration that gave us the great generation and the Universal rights of Man as legacy to world history.

@Minor: "are you so obtuse as to think . . . "
Nope. "Under 5%" still sounds a bit high for the essentially negative value returned to our economy by the industry.

I just want one of these people to admit the fact that Capitalism can not produce a profit by investing in debt. It has already started inventing worthless paper, backed by non existent money that's supposed to pay an interest on non production. The greater the risk the higher the interest being paid in what is no more than a government backed Ponzi Scheme. Capitalism's only response can be to issue more worthless paper, as we are, until it starts feeding on itself and brings down another house of cards.
Who can say that the worldwide financial system is not insolvent when insolvent countries are issuing billions in bonds based on nothing?
